Maine Democrat Jackson acknowledges punching man in 1988; he and partner dismiss pushing allegation
Jackson says he took responsibility for a 1988 fight and denies ever being violent with Lana Pelletier as the old police report resurfaces in his Senate campaign.
- The Bangor Daily News reported Wednesday that Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Troy Jackson allegedly punched a man and pushed his longtime partner, Lana Pelletier, during a 1988 incident in Fort Kent.
- Police records from March 12, 1988, state Jackson, then 19, kicked in a door on Market Street and punched a man after an argument, resulting in a misdemeanor charge and a $50 fine.
- Addressing the allegations, Jackson stated, "I have never been violent with my partner," while Pelletier denies the pushing allegation and has no memory of the statement attributed to her by police.
- Facing questions after the report surfaced less than three weeks after Jackson secured the Democratic nomination, surrogate Cathy Breen defended his character while Republican Sen. Susan Collins' campaign declined to comment.
- Records show the 58-year-old Jackson has maintained no criminal record since the incident nearly 40 years ago, as the underlying court file was destroyed per judicial retention schedules.
